Albania introduces new regulation for purchasing energy

Xinhua, February 4, 2017 Adjust font size:

The Albanian Ministry of Energy and Power Distribution Operator (OSHEE) on Friday presented new regulation on procedures for purchasing electricity to cover losses in networks of distribution and transmission.

"The purpose of this regulation is to establish transparent, efficient and practical procedures for companies to purchase electricity from traders," Elton Sevrani, director of energy trading at OSHEE, told the media.

In a statement, the ministry said energy purchase tenders would only be made in an electronic format.

"The main criterion of this platform is to provide transparent and real-time information on all stages of energy purchase negotiations to achieve the lowest prices," he said. Endit
